Hi Chris, >From my very basic scanning of the presentations, PAR is a zip of the blib/ subdirectory. But that's not the problem I'm encountering - I'm having dependency hell on several disjoint packages, and I don't see how PAR would help with this. The bulk of my time is spent tweaking slightly borked configuration files for different packages, not in the final compile of PDL.
Another separate issue is that people don't like SciPDL going into the system perl, and I can't see a way of avoiding that short of macports and the several Gigs of perl, cmake, and gcc that it throws in /opt. AND there's no guarantee that it will provide the PLplot, PGPLOT, Gnuplot that you're really after. As for PAR for Moose, I'd be happy with that, but to be honest the problems I'm having are a version shear in Devel::REPL, which PAR wouldn't resolve, if I understand it correctly.
